Quick Facts on Electricity
- About 25% of the electricity used in the United States is used for lighting.
- Half of our electricity is made from burning coal.
- Coal burning is the leading cause of air pollution, acid rain, and global warming.
- Every year, a typical coal-burning power plant pumps out about
10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is one of
the gases that causes acid rain.
- Every year, that same power plant also sucks up enough water to fill 2,220 large swimming pools.
